Germantown
Apartment Life in Germantown
Germantown is located directly north of Manayunk and can be described in very similar terms as Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy. Somewhat suburban but still with the city limits, many middle-class families have chosen to set up their homes here. There are plenty of neighborhood shops, restaurants, and bars to choose from, and there are other attractions like art galleries and community organizations. Close by is Fairmount Park, which is ideal for the outgoing, outdoorsy types who like to jog and bicycle. Germantown was originally its own township, before it became a part of the city of Philadelphia in the nineteenth century. It has been described as one of the nation's oldest suburbs.
